Can the Audi A4L be modified with an electric trunk?
2 Answers
Audi A4L can be modified with an electric trunk. Advantages of modifying to an electric trunk: The driver or passenger can control the opening and closing of the trunk by pressing the trunk switch on the vehicle, using the remote car key, or sensing operation in the corresponding area of the trunk with a hand or any object. In addition, the electric trunk also has several major advantages such as intelligent anti-pinch and height memory. Difference between sensing and electric: An electric trunk means that the vehicle's trunk can be opened and closed electrically. There is a door closing button inside the trunk door, and by touching this button, the trunk door can close by itself without human intervention. A sensing trunk means that there is a sensor installed under the trunk of the car, which can open or close the trunk through sensing. You can open the trunk by waving your foot under the sensor.
Yes, the Audi A4L can be retrofitted with a power trunk. Personally, I think it's quite straightforward—just find a reliable modification shop. The retrofit process typically involves installing an electric motor, wiring harness, and control module, and may require minor adjustments to the trunk structure, but don’t worry about damaging the body. After the retrofit, you can easily open the trunk with a key remote or an in-car button, which is especially convenient for daily shopping or loading/unloading items. However, it’s recommended to choose a kit specifically designed for Audi to avoid compatibility issues. The entire process might take half a day to a full day, and you’ll just need to test the sensitivity afterward. I know quite a few people who’ve done it and are very satisfied. The only thing to note is not to go for the cheapest option—choose a technician with a good reputation to prevent future malfunctions.
